Question K-1 Kerosene, $2.59/gal....was wondering....

Folks,
I went to town yesterday and noticed that the price of K-1 Kerosene has not increased ($2.59/gal)...yet!!! I am aware that Kerosene does not have the lubricity that diesel fuel does....but I got to thinking, I have burned bio-Diesel as B50, mixed with LSD......I got to wondering if anyone has experimented with Kerosene and bio-Diesel mixtures/blends.....??

I also realize that K-1 probably has not increased in price because of demand and the fact that it carries no road taxes....BUT.....it isn't dyed either.....so perhaps the next time I go to town and purchase some Diesel to blend with bio-Diesel....maybe I'll just buy a 55 of K-1 instead......

whatchall think??

SB
